Eating Vegetables.

There are a great many people, some
of whom have been raised and are still
living on farms, who eat very few vege-
tables. 1t is a wonder that they are
willing to go without fresh vegetables,
such as any farmer can raise, beginning
with the very opening of spring and
continuing quite the year round. One
who has not acquired taste for vege-
tables can hardly realize how much he
loses. They are healthful as well as
palatable. Each has its own distinct
flavor like the fruits, atfording wide
variety. Some seem to be really afraid
to eat freely of vegetables, but if they
would only eat them oftener and regu-
larly, they would have no reason to be
afraid and they would be much better
off in the long run than though they
neglected them and INDUCED more in
meat Fresh vegetables should be upon
the table of those who can afford them
every day. Teach this children to eat
them, let all eat them freely, and they
will get more out of life than they
otherwise could, CongregationaliSt.

Narrow Escape of an Alabama Church
from Destruction by a Cyclone.
The Colonel had contributed fifty
cents at Decatur, a quarter at Birming-
ham, thirty cents at Verbena and thirty
five at Bessemer-all for the ''rebuild-
ing of colored churches destroyed by
cyclones" and when we got to Sheffield
and an ancient darkey struck him again
with the same old chestnut, he turned
on the man with:
''See here! Where is that church?'
"Bout ten miles from heah, SIR"

TIRED OUT.

With jar and jolt, the ferry-boat
into its mooring swung;
The homeward crowd upon its bows,
In mute impatience hung
Then all arose, and hurried forth
That ceaseless tide Of men,
That every morn flowed to the town,
AT night, to ebb again.
With hurried step they josted out,
And sought the busy street;
Nor needed any one child
That rose not from her seat
"A frail and slender little girl
Whose face so wan and pale,
With great dark rings about the eyes,
Told all the mournful tale.
AL day within the factory,
So faint she scarce could stand,
She'd kept at her allotted task,
With weak and trembling hand;
She must not stop, though she should sink
All lifeless to the floor;
Her work alone gaunt hunger kept
Without her mothers door.
Week after week, through weary months,
This child, so old with care,
Had staggered meath a load of toll
She was not made to bear;
And oft, at night, when on the boat,
NdECu bONu VIII NlSIIul eye.
And wished that pillowed on the waves
Her weary head might lie.
"Come, all ashore :" the boatman cried,
Who, passing, spied her there; y.
"Come, all ashore ~ and then he stopped
ASLEEP, well 1 declare
Come, wake up!'' then he stopped again,
Filled with a nameless dread
Then called the other hands to come
''What if the child were deadr'
Her lips were mute, and closed her eyes,
Nor breath within her stirred;
But when they raised her in their hands,
y feeble moan was heard
They laid her in an ambulance,
That bore the child away;
And soon within a hospital
All motiOnless she lay
All through the silent hours OF night
They heard her feebly moan,
ANA say. with low and titful breath,
In plaintive monotone:
Il am so tired. 1 am so tired,
And yet so mach to do;
So tired and yet must not stop
Until my work is through
The night dragged by, the day came on;
They watched beside her bed
She opened not her eyes, nor moved,
But ever family said:
81 feel as if 1 could not stand
Until the close of day,
o. would might lie down tonight
And there forever stayn'
That evening as the clock struck six,
TIE patient raised her head
Ard counted off the strokes, and smiled:
It's time to stop" she said,
And now I'm going home, to rest"
And then she spoke no more
Her life had struck its six o'clock,
Her day of work was Ger.

i Chances for u Council Meeting.

At tho time the Democracy thought
that it had discovered Irregularities in the
votes cast at tho Second ward polls at tho
late city election, that would be sufficient
to change the Republican majority in
Council and possibly put Tom Thonor in
Frank Bowers place, there was called, it
will DO remembered, special meeting Of
Council TO tako some action regarding
these Irregularities. At that meeting q
resolution was adopted postponing till the
18th inst, all action relative to the votes
cast in any ward Of the city. In the moan.
time the Democracy satisfied itself that
the ballots cast at tho Second ward polls
were all right and SO counted that the TO-.
suit could not be changed by any recount,
and 60 it is not likely that any meeting Of
Council will be held this evening. About
the only business tina! could be brought
forward would be the confirmation OF the
officers appointed by tho Board Of Public
Works and the Water Board. These ap.
pointmsnts can wait, however, until tie
regular setni-monthly meeting to be held
next Tuesday evening. Outside Of these
appointments there are only three or four
minor natteya, none Of enough import
ance to call meeting. a,
